One week in my current work environment? No! One week on vacation? Hell yes!

I went 25 years. I think I could manage a week.

I leave mine at home when I go to work. Production has increased.

I work in a place that I can't bring my phone in. Not having a phone for 12 hours is awesome

Nope. I'm hooked on having every piece of info I want or need right in my hip pocket

I spent a week in Disney and only used my iPhone to check ride times with the Disney parks app. It was extremely refreshing.

Mrs Prez and my 10th year anniversary is coming up and I've specifically been looking for a place to go where my phone won't work. No email no calls no work stuff to worry about.

Yes, when I went on a 7 day cruise it stayed locked up in the safe. I didn't miss it, I actually enjoyed it.

If I could just go to a regular old Motorola flip phone then I could do it easily and probably would be a relief. I have to make phone calls every day for business so the phone is "needed".

Went for about 6 weeks without a phone one summer and it was refreshing. I'm a lot less dependent on my phone now.

I am admittedly on my phone a lot most of the time, but I can pretty easily go without for quite a while. Been on a couple of "no internet" vacations and never had a problem. People adjusted faster than you think.

I'd only miss the text aspect

but I've never been attached to the phone and I'm not glued to it like others I've seen

I don't care about social media but I love having the power of Google in my pocket. No information is out of reach. I love that shite...

I do however hate my pager. Would love to sling that thing in the bay.
